Coutil - also referred to as corseting - is a fabric that has been designed specifically for building corsets. It is high in cotton content, tightly woven to inhibit penetration of bones/stays and is not inclined to stretch. It has a smooth finish and is comfortable when worn close to the skin, though the wearing of a chemise or modern type undershirt is always recommended. This is the high end imported coutil, not the more common domestic coutil.

This fine herringbone coutil is quite stiff, almost ridged like a sheet of paper. Great support. Herringbone pattern is so fine it's barely visible. It's identical to herringbone coutil seen in late 1800's vintage corsets. It weighs 270 grams/square meter which is surprisingly heavy for such a thin fabric, the weight is accounted for by the density.
